GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

53
A correctly sharpened blade is essential for working
efficiently and to avoid unnecessary wear to the blade and
brush cutter.
•
Make sure that the blade is well supported when you
file it. Use a 5.5 mm round file with a file holder.
•
The filing angle is 15
°
. File alternate teeth to the right
and those in between to the left. If the blade has been
heavily pitted by stones it may be necessary to dress
the top edges of the teeth with a flat file, in exceptional
cases. If so, this should be done before filing with a
round file. The top edges must be filed down by the
same amount for all the teeth.
Adjust the blade setting. This should be 1 mm.
Trimmer head
•
Only use the recommended trimmer heads and
trimmer cords. These have been tested by the
manufacturer to suit a particular engine size. This is
especially important when a fully automatic trimmer
head is used. Only use the recommended cutting
attachment. See the chapter on Technical data.
•
Smaller machines generally require small trimmer
heads and vice versa. This is because when clearing
using a cord the engine must throw out the cord
radially from the trimmer head and overcome the
resistance of the grass being cleared.
•
The length of the cord is also important. A longer cord
requires greater engine power than a shorter cord of
the same diameter.
•
Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard is
intact. This is used to cut the cord to the correct length.
•
To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in
water for a couple of days before use. This will make
the cord tougher so that it lasts longer.
IMPORTANT!
Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly and
evenly around the drum, otherwise the machine will
generate harmful vibration.
